The Social Game OF Mummy"


The game Mummy" bids fair to rival the
donkey in popularity, says writer in Har-
per's Bazaar Divide the company into two
or three parties, according to number; send.
ing one division into an adjoining room,
where they should be arranged in a semi
circle, the larger ones on the lower chairs to
decrease the height, the smaller ones vice
versa: carefully enwrap each one in sheet,
leaving only the eyes uncovered. but conceal
ing the dress SO entirely that it is even a mat
ter of conjecture whether it be a man or a
woman When the wrapping has been ar
ranged each mummy must keep it in place by
the hand, and when all are ready the other
divisions come in and guess to whom the eyes
belong 1t gives one very uncanny feeling
to have pair of questioning eyes peering into
ones own, and the disguise is so complete
those that are nearest and dearest are not
often recognized. When all have had a
guess throw Off the sheets aud let the other
divisions change places until all have been
alternately guessed and mummied. This game
may BIO varied by stretching heavy paper, in
which groups of eye Sits have been cut,
across the open doorway. For economy's
sake we pasted together the large, almost
perfect sheets that dry goods come wrapped
in, and which the merchants willingly gave

improvements are constantly being mads
In tin cans for preserving food. A recent one
consists in so forming the lid that it is merely
pressed on and the can is Theoretically sealed,
30 that no internal pressure can remove tho
lid. Water boiled in a tin thus closed has
failed to force it off, although the steam
pressure has burst the can itself. A penny
piece, however, used as lever by being
placed under rim formed around the top OF
the cover, with the shoulder of the tin as q
fulcrum, raises the lid with remarkably
small expenditure Of power The principle
involved in the device is that Of the wedge
and lever The neck of the tin on which the
lid fits is formed at very slight angle from
the vertical and the rim OF the lid is made at
q corresponding angle, no solder being used
to form the joint. BY means of this arrange
ment, therefore, the opening of tho cans is
rendered remarkably clean, quick and
simple operation.

inches long, one and quarter or one and
n half inches wide; punch or drill holes
half an inch from each end half an inch

EXPERIMENT IN MAGNETISM.

Insert light thread In the needle, tie and
cut Off one end, leaving single thread six oil
eight inches long. Lay horseshoe magnet
on table with the poles in front. Magnetic
the needle by rubbing 1t several times, always
In one direction, by one pole Of the magnet
after each stroke returning the magnetism ar
arc through the air. Take the end Of the
thread between thumb and finger, and sus
pend the needle over its attractive pole
allowing the point to come within one fourth
Of an inch OF tho magnet, then, with a circu
lar sweep Of the hand, to keep the point II
position, draw the eye of the needle down to
ward the other pole. This, if carefully done
will bring the needle TO horizontal position
where it will remain, floating or in suspen
sion as long as the thread is held steadily
The magnetic forces operating TO produce
this effect appear to be- first, the attract On OF
tho left pole for the point of the needle
second, the repusion of the right pole for the
same point; and third, the attraction of the
right pole for the eye of the needle which is
resisted by the thread supporting the needle
the latter also is held from approaching the
left pole by the same means. The experiment
may be made more effective by covering the
magnet with u sheet Of paper, thus conceal,
ing it.

proved u success. II has been estimated
TINT during the five days OF the show
over 10000 people visited it, While
there was fair exhibit of dairy imple-

the show was the large number OF choice
animals selected for exhibition from
the best herds OF improved breeds in the
country. Five hundred cattle were eX-
hibited, representing in dollars and cents
$1,000 900. Nearly one-half of these were
Jerseys.
The famous old Jersey Eurotas was the
center Of attraction among the Jerseys.
Her fame came, 1t will be remembered,
with an'astonishing butter test that lasted
through the year. She gave 77S pounds

Fruit Packages.

The refusal Of the commission OF New
York city to return to fruit growers their
peach baskets, on the plea that 1t is too
much trouble to look after these, and the
refusal of the growers to give away their
fruit packages, on the plea that they can
not afford it, is causing noend OF dissat-
isfaction. At recent convention OF fruit
growers of Delaware and Maryland res
Oluton was adopted to dispense with the
services of all middlemen and make efforts
to get buyers to deal with the growers at
their own orchards. 1t was resolued to
organize branches of the fruit exchange
at all shipping points In the peninsula,
and by every means to discourage the
shipment of peaches on consignment; to
sell only to commission men who will
agree to pay five cents each for all baskets
not returned

covery that water may be used to advantage
in keeping down the temperature Of journal
boxes and to the exclusion entirely Of friction
easing oils. In comparison with using oil
the pillow blocks exhibit marked difference
when touched by the hand. Formerly they
were too hot for anything like continued
pressure of the hand, while now they are
omparativcly cool at all times. The journals
also show n greater advantage, the brightness
of surface denoting friction having given
way to duller and more nearly natural color

QUEEN VICTORIA,

1t has always ben customary TO cele-
brate the birth and coronation days OF kings
and queens. Sometimes this has been done
out of respect to a time honored custom;
sometimes because of the peoples fondness
for ceremony and stately professions, and
occasionally because they truly loved the
man or woman who ruled over them.
On June - Victoria will have reigned as
queen in England fifty years, or half CEN
fury, an unusually long and peaceful reign for
any country. II is safe to assume that the
celebration of her tiftieth coronation day will
be on grand scale, and that representatives
from many countries will participate in it.

The "BIight" in Fruit Orchards.

"Fire blight Of the pear, the apple,
ounce, etc, is one of the most formidai
bic diseases to which fruit trees are liable.
Scientists differ in their opinions as to
whether it is caused by the sun, the at
mosphere or an insect 1t attacks the
trees ut different periods Of the growing
season from June to September, and gen.
orally in the young parts first; the leaves
flag, the sap becomes thick and brown,
oozug out in globules through the bark,
and has something of a very disagreeable
odor, and the diseased branch or part
turns black, as il it were burned by fire.
When the pear tree is attacked il is diff
cult to save it, the disease spreads so rap
idly In apple and ounce it is less fatal,
rarely killing more than portion of the
tree
Authorities differ as widely in their
treatment of fire blight as scientists do in
ascribing the cause Of the disease. The
only effective and trustworthy treatment,
in our opinion, is to cut away the very
day the disease is discovered the blight
parts into the sound wood, where there is
not the slightest trace of disease; burn up
Immediately all the diseased portions cut
off AS high authority as p. Barry says:
"The only remedy for fire blight is to cut
instantly the blighted parts into the
healthy wood and burn them up imme-
diately.n Charles Downing said: when
the disease has actually appeared the only
remedy seems to be the knife and the saw,
most vigorously applied, to eradicate
every symptom of diseased and discolored
bark or wood. If you would save your
tree, cut at once on the first apparent
symptom of the disease, and be sure you
cut it clean out"
Twig blight attacks the young shoots Of
the current seasons growth ana causes
these to wither and become brown or curly
in midsummer The cause is unknown
and the injury is not materially great.
The remedy is cutting away at the first
appearance.
Apple blight, like the dreaded fire
blight, is q serious disease. 1t attacks a
whole branch or limb, and sometimes half
of the top is destroyed before the disease
becomes apparent to an ordinary observer.
Again, there Is no remedy except to cut
away the diseased portions and burn
them up.
Pear leaf blight is a sort of rust that
appears on the leaves during July and
August, first in shall brown spots. These
spread rapidly over the leaves until their
growth is stopped. To avoid the evil eff
fects of leaf blight the great point is to get
a rapid, vigorous growth before mid
summer.
Many readers will doubtless be disap-
pointed because a long list of remedies
has not been given for the blight, such as
are advised from year to year by many
writer's These have been avoided simply
because there is but one sure remedy-the
heroic one already recommended-cutting
away the diseased parts and destroying
them by fire.

Canes in Chickens.

Gapes in chickens is the result of worms
in the throat, and removal of the worms
is cure for the disease. This is most
commonly effected by passing q quill
feather dipped in turpentine into the
throat and twisting it around until the
worms are dislodged. What causes these
worms is. not clearly understood. fumi-
eating with carbolic acid is recommended
in bad cases by a good authority in poul-
try ailments, but care must be taken that
the chicks are not sutfocated by contin-
uing the treatment too long.

Uent RAYS from the Sun.

A mercurial Thermometer held in the sun g
rays and not in contact with any other body,
says one scientist, will show but little rise in
temperature, the radiant heat being reflected
from the bright surface Of the glass bulb like
light from a mirror. But, if the bulb be
coated with lampblack or some absorbent Of
heat rise in temperature will be indicated at
once. So the heat rays from the sun may be
passed through lens Of ice and concentrated
to sufficient degree to ignite combustibes
placed at the focus without melting the ice Of
which the lens is formed.

PhOtO-ChromOtype.

The perfection of the process termed photo
chromotype, for the production of colored
prints or chromos, is due, it is said, to the
house Of Aeyerer &, Goschel of Vienna. The
copy for reproduction in colors is first photo
Autographed, and from these impressions the
draughtsman works in the desired coors.
For instance, upon one sheet the yellow is
laid, upon another the red, this being re-
peated until each tint has been worked in
upon its corresponding separate sheet. Mega
tives are then made for each, and from these
zinc printing plates are etched in half tone.
The balance Of the process is then nothing
more than the usual fitting of color stones III

wrote the following concise and comprehen-

many wonders of this world Is tho great cat
aract of Niagara. 1t falls 1854 feet. A short
distance below the falls plies a small steamer,
properly named the "Maid Of the Mist, which
conveys visitors within a few feet Of the bass
of the cataract, where they can view II 10

rubber suit to protect his clothes from the
heavy mist. .ur''
In and about Niagara are many places Of
interest. Among them may be mentioned
Table Rock, the Horseshoe falls, the Cave of
the Winds, Goat Island, Three Sisters Islands,
and last, hut not least, tho whirlpool rapids
The suspension bridge and the railroad bridge
span the chasm that forms the bed OF the Nj
agara river below the falls.
At IIundy's lane, within sound OF the roar
of this mighty cataract, was fought the
bloodiest battle Of the war of 1912.

THE IMPORTED GUERNSEY, JoLIE II.
The Guernseys, trile larger, redder
and more even tempered than the Jer-
seys, made good show, being represented
in the entries by four herds. In this ex-
hibit was included one Of the most ia
nous cows Of this breed in this country,
the imported Julie 2d.
An important lesson to be learned Of
this show is that in the friendly rivalry
between exhibitors of the four leading
dairy breeds oil have shown eXcellences
that insure each strain a continuance of
prosperity with its own advocates and i'd
mirers. In n word, each breed has II suf-
ficient number Of merits above the dis
tinctively American COW to win it a COW
